From what I read on these posts, it's humiliating for many. This shows the decline of corporate America, and the oil patch. "Management" turn into punks, empowered to do the dirty work. They don't trust you, because the Devil knows himself. People... — read more

I only personally know 2 of the people laid off, and they worked in different sales groups (so it wasn't product line specific). One was a really hard-worker, but the product line just went downhill. The other well.....I think he got his due.

Was walked out the door today, along with several others, after 6 years with the company. Severance is 1 week per year (not a full 2-week paycheck per year). Was a pretty good company to work for and was paid well. Wish a pay cut option was at least... — read more
